Just the thing to keep the spirit of the "S" (or NSX) close at hand.....

I love it!

He says there's one that sounds like a V10 Lambo, too (I think that's what I heard.)

I am interested. For real.

Yup. There is indeed a V10 version. Looks like they cost $45-50, and are available from Amazon and several other US outlets. Made in Sweden.

Ought to be one heck of an eye opener for unsuspecting passengers of any age

I listened to some of the other tests on Youtube . Apparently the best V8 burble is at relative low rpm, but above 3500 it doesn't copy the V8 sound so well and was annoying to the tester. The V10 model sounded much worse at higher rpm. Otherwise I might have been interested, too. Patricia, if you get one, I'll be wanting to hear what it does sound like on the S.

I need to find a Youtube to hear the V10 sound before I decide on one. I think it would be a blast to use with my kids. Maybe stick one in their car the next time I ride with one of them. They both have Acura RSXs that are quiet.

^Thank you, Jim.

I hear a Lambo every time my neighbor 5 houses up drives by, no matter if I'm in the house or outside. It really does make it's own unique awesome sound. The newer ones I've seen at car meets lately have been quieter, though.

There's a reason they keep those tests to short stints, as 5th gear discovered. The V8 clearly is better sounding than the V10 in all the videos I watched. But, I'll pass..... until someone improves on it because I think it's kinda a cool idea. Lots cheaper than buying fancy exhaust pipes.
